Issue and Reproduction Steps

Hi! I have updated the react native version from 0.68.5 to 0.72.0 the flipper and other dependencies are updated successfully.

I am facing this issue

-[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:] perform input operation requires a valid sessionID

while I am running the iOS app in release mode in Simulator (iPhone 15 - iOS 17.0), due to which I am not able to proceed further in the application.

The debug build works fine.

Attached screenshot is of the log that I am getting while clicking on a button after giving input to a TextInput

also dealing with this issue. I believe the same issue has been addressed on Apple forum https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/731700 and on StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77165006/searchable-swiftui-on-ios-17-cause-an-error-invalid-numeric-value
but no solution has been proposed yet.
I get the same log when I click a TextInput on the simulator.

anyone looking into this issue?

[justinflint]

@geekabhinavp I'm facing the same issue in .NET MAUI. Got some folks looking into it - I'll try to post helpful content here once the solution is found.

Bummer, I have this same issue in my app when I try to use my "sell" button in the simulator which should subtract from an array I made..hopefully we can solve it.

[mphill]

You are likely destroying/recreating the component on re-rendering. Hard to say for sure what the issue is without any reproduction code.

If you are doing something like this where you define an input inline, i.e.

App() {
 const InlineInput = () => <TextInput /> // Move this outside of the function definition.

  return (
   <InlineInput />
  )
}

You will see this error.

Previous versions of RN/iOS didn't seem to mind this, but now it's causing problems. My opinion is this is not a bug, but an implementation issue. Native devs see this too when they use LazyVStacks that recycle.

Hope that helps

[boltlessengineer]

Same thing happens to me even with HTML textarea/inputs.
Tried with webview element in as root level (app/_layout.tsx) but it didn't help.

[joshuagodwin]

same issue, "react-native": "0.71.14", expo 0.7.3
even if nothing but textinput surrounded by view with no other code will still get error when press on text input in simulator:
[RemoteTextInput] -[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:] perform input operation requires a
valid sessionID

update: worked with reset to metro.

[CRIIPI11]

@joshuagodwin can you elaborate your solution please, currently having the same issue in development

[lesimoes]

Seems that issue only happens when you use physical keyboard on ios simulator, try to use "Software keyboard" from simulator. Menu bar > I/O > Keyboard > Toggle Software Keyboard.

I tried it... It still remain... But if its just a development warning, then no problem. :)

[ianbunn]

"Command" + "Shift" + "K" alternates between software or hardware keyboard...but yeah, in development, the warning error will still be shown in the console:

[RemoteTextInput] -[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:]  perform input operation requires a valid sessionID. inputModality = Keyboard, inputOperation = <null selector>, customInfoType = UIEmojiSearchOperations

I had the same structure as below. When separating some components as function expressions within the same component, the same error occurs, and there's an issue with losing focus after typing.

const MyComponent = () => {

  const HeaderComponent = () => <TextInput />;

  return (
    <>
      <HeaderComponent />
    </>
  );
};

export default MyComponent;

The problem was resolved by modifying it as follows, but I'm not sure about the exact cause either.

const MyComponent = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <TextInput />;
    </>
  );
};

export default MyComponent;

I am facing the same issue. I found that first mount is ok, then I used expo-router to navigate back, and navigate to data entry page again that is when I see this message

I am seeing the same error when navigating back to a previous page after entering data on a dedicated data-entry page in .Net MAUI 8 via MAUI's Shell as well. Seems to only be happening on my Sim's, not real devices. Tried iOS-sim v17.2/17.5 with/without physical keyboard and didn't seem to change. iPhone XR with iOS 17.5.1 and iPhone 12-iOS 16.6 had no issues.

I am facing the same issue when using in-app-payments-react-native-plugin. Happens when I enter card information and tap "Pay". on React Native CLI 0.74.3, iOS 17.

I get this: [RemoteTextInput] -[RTIInputSystemClient remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:] perform input operation requires a valid sessionID. inputModality = Keyboard, inputOperation = <null selector>, customInfoType = UIEmojiSearchOperations

I am getting the same warning, AI assistants say that it's not important and I should learn to live with and accept it being part of my log outputs

[RemoteTextInput] -[RTIInputSystemClient
remoteTextInputSessionWithID:performInputOperation:]  perform input
operation requires a valid sessionID. inputModality = Keyboard,
inputOperation = <null selector>, customInfoType =
UIEmojiSearchOperations```

🤔 I got that warning while trying to programmatically interface with AI, hmmm...
